Challenge Time and it's a beauty~

Hi All~

Wow it's challenge time again at Sweet Stampin', so without further ado (don't you just love daft sayings like this!)
Here is this weeks card.
The Theme is actually a "Photo Inspiration" from Team Mate Judy's holidays, just look how sweet it is.
You can interpret this photo as you wish but please remember we are a Stamping Challenge, so some Stamping required please!
Our sponsors this week are close to my heart (love 'em) "Hobby House".
I use the products Jill from Hobby House brings us all the time, and their website with gorgeous goodies can be found here:

I have a little white paper Gift Bag for this weeks challenge. (I thought I would use this as there is a little bag hanging from the handlebars of the bike!)
I enjoy making these and they always sell well at my Craft Fairs (talking of which, I had one a couple of weeks ago and did really well)

I have started with a white bag from Samuel Taylors shop at Skipton (Ooo one of my favourite shop, it's a fab place for Crafting, beads, material and wool all under one roof, a link to their website is here:)
I then used a sheet of Dotty Heidi Grace paper, and a panel from a Pad of Heartfelt Creation's Paper, this pad is gorgeous.
I have Stamped and Embossed a Sentiment by Paper Smooches. The wee Owl Stamp was free on a Magazine a few weeks ago. Ribbon is from my stash, flowers were stamped and coloured with Pro-Markers (these were free on the Stamp set too). The Doily is from the Range.
The border is one of my Martha Stewart punches.

About Me

Hi my name is Debbie, I live in Cumbria, a lovely part of the Lake District. I have been married to my lovely husband for 31 years and together we have two children age 25 and 23. I stopped working a few years ago, so I now have plenty of time to craft. I have been papercrafting properly for the past 12+ years, but started out as a watercolour painter (don't get time enough to do that now though). These days I spend most of my free time Scrapbooking, cardmaking and all types of Altered Art, I just love it.
My other passions are "Films", I love them, and I will watch anything, but favorites are Gladiator, The Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption and the old B&W Rebecca. My other passion are "Pigs"...one of my favorite animal ever. I just love their little faces and would love a Micro pig....Gorgeous, but not practical!
Thank you for visiting my blog...enjoy.
